Events

TEDxExeter 2015 happened in the Exeter Northcott Theatre on 24 April 2015, with the theme “Taking the Long View”. We also had a concurrent livestream in Exeter Library’s Rougemont Room.

We aimed to take the long view back into the past, and explore how it has shaped the world we now live in. We wanted to ask about what responsibilities the past places on us in the way we live now and how we innovate. Much current political, economic and personal decision-making is rife with short-termism. So we also took the long view into the future, and asked how it can reveal and help us to understand the challenges that face us now, and shape the way we live and the decisions we make.
